Im American and Ill tell you something weird...or rather, disgusting, and its just started happening a few years back. We have become a selfish, "Im a victim". country......case in point:

" The United States Patent and
Trademark Office has canceled six
federal trademark registrations for
the name of the Washington
Redskins, ruling that the name is
“disparaging to Native Americans”
and thus cannot be trademarked
under federal law that prohibits the
protection of offensive or disparaging
language.
The U.S. PTO’s Trademark Trial and
Appeal Board issued a ruling in the
case, brought against the team by
plaintiff Amanda Blackhorse,
Wednesday morning.
“We decide, based on the evidence
properly before us, that these
registrations must be cancelled
because they were disparaging to
Native Americans at the respective
times they were registered,” the board
wrote in its opinion.""
Link.

A very small group of individuals have went out of their way to force a decision that will effect hundreds of thousands of people. Emotion and flaming have now replaced common sense and level headed thinking. Theres a new "throw a tantrum and ill get my way" formula that has been birthed....."Find something, ANYTHING + Say its offensive + Constantly bitch about it = Ill get my way like a lil kid"

Btw, to the Board that made this decision.....you may have stopped ONE owner from using this name.......but you just made it where ANYONE can make money off of it.....dumb ass.es

We go to other countries screaming about abuse and mistreatment going on. But if its happening right in front of our faces, we say Thats not my business. Not all, but most.
